Legislative findings.
(a) The General Assembly finds:
(1) that a considerable volume of wastes are produced in this State with even greater volumes to be produced in the future;
(2) that these wastes pose a significant risk to the public health, safety and welfare of the people of Illinois; and (3) that it is the obligation of the State of Illinois to its citizens to provide for the safe management of the wastes produced within its borders.
(b) It is the intent of this Act to authorize the Agency to establish, by regulation, a tracking system for the regulation of the use of facilities licensed under Section 8 of the Illinois Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Act.(Source: P.A. 103-569, eff. 6-1-24.)
